PROJECT OVERVIEW

In 2008, the Department of Health (DH) amalgamated it's eight regional health authorities into two health authorities, Vitalite Health Network and Horizon Health Network (together the "RHAs"). However, the underlying clinical and lab systems were not consolidated and have continued to operate as eight separate entities. Healthcare in New-Brunswick is a collection of silos that often operate independently. People, technology, and information are not connected in the ways they need to be to focus on the citizens and deliver better services to New-Brunswickers. Healthcare must evolve. The 2021 Health Action plan has provided the opportunity to tackle this issue.

The Clinical Information System (CIS) Consolidation Project is a clinical transformation project with a vision to implement a single province-wide, bilingual CIS to meet the needs of the citizens of NB, clinicians, administrators, and other key stakeholder groups. This project is in the initial planning phases and the objectives of this stage are to complete a scoping, design, and detailed planning exercise to inform the DH and RHAs regarding the best path forward to implement a province-wide CIS. The output from this phase will enable subsequent project stages.

Based on project work completed to date, DH and the RHAs believe that most of the risk and effort for the project will be on the business changes associated with implementation, the process and clinical standardization work that will be required, and the application rationalization efforts necessary to achieve project success. Risks associated with resource availability and experience in implementing a project of this type and magnitude have also been identified.

The CIS Consolidation Project includes the following areas of transformation:

Processes - Clinical and business processes associated with the delivery of healthcare services across the province will be redesigned and standardized to align with best practice for safe, efficient, effective patient care and optimized outcomes. Technology - Technology will be modern, secure, reliable, regularly updated and will enable end-to-end clinical and business processes. Information - A province-wide approach to accessing, managing, sharing, and analyzing patient, financial and administrative health information.
There are many benefits of this clinical transformation project with the primary benefits reflected in Figure 1. Each of these benefits have a list of measures, along with baseline information, that will be used to monitor progress throughout the project and beyond to ensure the initiative is reaching its goals.

Figure 1 - CIS Consolidation Project Primary Benefits

Real-time analytics for transparency into patient movement and efficiency. Health information when and where you need it across the care continuum. Access to information to support an individual's participation in managing their own health. Improved population wellness and increased value from health care spending. Integrated Clinical Decision Support and best practice guidance to support improved care outcomes. Modernization positions us to take advantage of innovations in health.
CIS Consolidation Vendor Partners:

DH and the RHAs are looking to build a long-term relationship with vendor partners who can support the implementation and configuration of a province-wide CIS and assist with the standardization and application rationalization efforts that will support this initiative. This will require procurement activities for both system(s) and services. The planning stage for this project will be leveraged to inform the requirements and timelines associated with project procurement activities.

The successful Project Director will be required to work closely with Project sponsors, team members, stakeholders, and vendor partners throughout the engagement.

Planning Phase Scope and Project Team Commitments:

The objectives of the next stage in the program are:

Given the investment and impact to government and its citizens, DH, RHAs and other stakeholders will ensure a comprehensive and qualified team is dedicated to the project to ensure success, achieve client satisfaction, and mitigate risk.

Project Governance:

The CIS Program is a collaborative initiative between Vitalite Health Network, Horizon Health Network, Service New Brunswick, Finance and Treasury Board, and the Department of Health. The program governance has been established with executive leaders from all partner organizations to ensure effective and efficient decision making at the most appropriate level.

Roles:

The Project Management Committee (PMC) is responsible to provide day to day oversight and guidance for the CIS program workplan and deliverables.

Citizen-Focused and Clinician Driven
o Standardized systems and processes to achieve smarter healthcare service delivery.

o Work will support New Brunswick citizens being more empowered, active, and informed members of their care team.

Safety, Quality, Service, and Inclusivity
